Southwark Premium Lager

Following its discovery after the exciting launch of its Wheat
Beer, AustralianBeers.com was eager to explore other Southwark
offerings.

To be honest we didn't expect to be in for much of a surprise from
Southwark's premium lager. When it comes to lagers, we have tasted the best that
Australia, as well as a lot of other countries, has to offer. It takes something
special to turn our eye.

It was in this context that our review panel sat down to consider an icy six
pack of what must be the last premium Australian lager on our list.
Although it is by no means the final test, first impressions count when it comes
to premium beers. Southwark Premium is magnificently housed in its green,
finely crafted bottle, and our expectations were raised somewhat by its
professional appearance.

But the true test of a beer is one that can be conducted blindfolded.
And here at AustralianBeers.com, we cannot say enough about this lager.
Its initial taste is smooth as silk: you can taste the quality within a fraction
of a second. It remains in your mouth for a moment more, before gliding
down your throat like water through the purest rainforest creek. We can say that, without a
shadow of a doubt, the Southwark Premium Lager is one of the finest Australian
Lagers available. It is one of our hidden treasures. Launched in
1967, it is about time it is promoted nationally: it should be as widely
available as Coopers at
least with a brewing giant like Lion-Nathan behind it.

Quite simply, this beer should be part of every discerning drinker's repertoire,
wherever you live: do not go anywhere near Adelaide without stocking up several
cartons for the trip home.
